The Vikings have spent almost the entire season right behind Green Bay in the NFC North game, and if they want to win the division, they should beat the Packers at US Bank Stadium on Monday.
Even if Minnesota (10-4) beats Green Bay (11-3), however, it will take a Packers loss to the Lions (and a Vikings win over Chicago) in Week 17 to return the division. So perhaps the most pressing for the Vikings is to keep up with the Seahawks (11-4) in the race for the NFC wild card top spot.

The Packers beat the Vikings 21-16 in Week 2. Green Bay scored all of its points in the first 16 minutes, jumping to a three-point lead before holding on late.
